FORT COLLINS, Colo. (AP) - The parents of a Colorado State University student who died of alcohol poisoning lashed out Monday at a promoter's plans to offer free drinks at a bar and donate money to a foundation named for their daughter.

"We find it abhorrent that anyone would exploit the tragedy of her death in this manner," said Rick and Patty Spady of Beatrice Neb., whose 19-year-old daughter Samantha died on Sept. 6.

The promotion - a gelatin-wrestling tournament dubbed "Wrestle-O" - was to include a free shot of alcohol to the first 100 women in the door, according to a flyer distributed on the CSU campus.

It was not immediately clear when the tournament was planned.

Brian Collins, whose company Excalibur Entertainment is organizing the promotion, said last week he hoped to donate at least $100 to the SAM Spady Foundation, which the Spadys founded after their daughter's death to promote alcohol awareness.

"SAM" stands for "student alcohol management" and was Samantha Spady's nickname.

"We have not spoken with any of the organizers of this event, nor do we intend to, as this type of activity is exactly what we would like to see abolished," the Spadys said in a written statement.

Neither Collins nor officials at C.B. & Potts restaurant, where the promotion was to be held, immediately returned phone calls on Monday.

Collins said earlier his company was "trying to be sensible members of the community and show that we want to be part of the community."

He said the promotion was not a benefit but a for-profit event.

Investigators said Samantha Spady had consumed at least 30 drinks in 11 hours. After her death, CSU formed a task force to examine solutions to binge drinking.

Alcohol was a factor in the deaths of at least four university students in Colorado this fall.
